Appeals aren’t an option you can just select, you have to to request them on grounds of merit.

The UK’s gas use is set to surge by 40% driven by AI data centre usage. And YOU will pay the increased prices AND subsidise their bill. Isn't that nice?

How does the Act play out with new rules on jury trial?

Not a single data center on this planet justifies sacrificing bees, water and trees.

Men after the Russell Brand trial: "So we have to get consent for *everything* now??" Yes, mate. Yes you do. That's how being a non rapist works.

Documents released by the Scottish Government show Data Centres could cause water shortages, higher energy bills and power cuts. Nobody wants AI get them out.

Doesn’t this already happen? - including in the Brand case. Worry that calling for a statutory obligation for judges to do something they already do risks giving victims the impression rape myths regularly go unchallenged in our courts and discourages them from coming forwards.
Victims need confidence that the justice process is fair and based on evidence, not myths and false assumptions about trauma. I am calling for the Courts and Tribunals Bill to require judges to address rape myths when directing juries in every rape trial theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

This Berki case is such a bundle of legal horrors, it took some time to get my head around it.

Sylvie Berki is still not allowed to talk about her encounter with Russell Brand, despite his convictions for rape & sexual assault. His lawyers got a judge to grant a lifelong injunction in 2014 that bans her from even telling her family what he did to her. How is this okay?

And for the judiciary: how could a judge grant such an order against an unrepresented defendant, without a trial, without determining whether her allegations were true and without, it seems, any assessment of proportionality?

Developers of a hyperscale AI data centre near Glasgow have admitted it will fully rely on the National Grid despite previously claiming the facility would be powered by renewable energy

Doesn’t libel become an impossibility after conviction, there no longer being a good character to bring down?

On Thursday I wrote about the 2014 injunction Russell Brand obtained against a woman who accused him of assault. I've now obtained the final order. It's breathtaking. She had no lawyer. No trial. Yet she was silenced for life - even barred from speaking to the police. 🧵:

How refreshing, to see an MP actually speaking the truth about benefits, instead of contributing to the web of disinformation spun by far too many others in the House.
We need an honest debate about welfare, not one built on myths and misinformation. The repeated claim that people receive PIP for mild anxiety simply isn't true. PIP is assessed on someone's ability to carry out everyday tasks, not on their condition or diagnosis.

Bizarre how people who weren’t in court and didn’t have the same sight and sound of all the evidence think they know better than the jury that did.

Making more money for the banks. That's all.
I really, really don't understand what the Bank of England hopes to achieve by raising interest rates.

I'm old enough to remember when they said technology would set us free. Instead the TechnoFascists are going to try and use it to enslave humanity. We need to stop it. Neoliberalism is rapidly turning into Neofeudalism.
